Pete, thank you for the detailed responses.
I answer the easy question first.
The MAC Mini server I7 16Gb.
https://support.apple.com/kb/SP660?locale=en_AU
Just testing it now and the core issue is the logs as discussed earlier.
My system is about 75 z-wave devices, sonos x 6, DSC 1864, Harmony and a few minor things.
I have bounced between WINTEL i7 16 Gb, the RasPi 3, Mac Min with VM WINTEL and a few other Atom system I had around...
the one persistent issues was z-wave response which would experience inordinate delays. I am using a z-wave me USB and the best response has been on the MAC Mini server.
I have a Pine64 2gb but awaiting the z-wave as AU is last to be delivered and they keep send to the wrong address. I haven't had any spare time to sent this up, but Ubuntu is looking very promising.
The biggest issue of running on the MAC is updates takes your HA offline.
The good point for RaspPi 3, low power
I like the Pine64 but I need to test, especially given the known defects that have been reported.
It is a matter of time and commitment and my work is just not giving time to commit too this, so the advice and your experience is greatly appreciated.
